For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
 We have then
 d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2

 From here, we clear the value of d.
 We have then:
 d =  \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} 

 Rewriting:
 d = \sqrt{256 + 144}
 d = \sqrt{400}
 d = 20 miles

 Answer:
 
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
 
d = 20 miles

Through how many volts of potential difference must an electron, initially at rest, be accelerated to achieve a wave length of 0
deff fn [24]

Answer:

20.7 volts

Explanation:

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

λ = wavelength of electron = 0.27 x 10⁻⁹ m

v = speed of electron

Using de-broglie's hypothesis

λ m v = h

(0.27 x 10⁻⁹) (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴

v = 2.7 x 10⁶ m/s

ΔV = Potential difference through which electron is accelerated

q = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Using conservation of energy

(0.5) m v² = q ΔV

(0.5) (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (2.7 x 10⁶)² = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) ΔV

ΔV = 20.7 volts

What is the approximate pressure of a storage cylinder of recovered r-410a that does not contain any non-condensable impurities
Aliun [14]

Answer:

173psig

Explanation:

The storage cylinder of recovered R-410A is mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane which is used as a refrigerant in air conditioning application. The refrigeration sector has low temperatures for installation. The pressure of cylinder at 80 F will be 173 psig. The pure refrigerants have inside a container have saturation temperature which is equal to ambient temperature.

Two identical metal balls are rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with speed V. Each ball encounters a hill ('tw
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The angular velocity of Ball A will be greater than the angular velocity of Ball B when they reach the top of the hill.

Explanation:

Angular velocity can be defined as how fast an object rotates relative to a given point or frame of reference.

The question said the hill encountered by Ball A is frictionless, so Ball A will continue to rotate at the same rate it started with even when it reached the top of the hill.

Ball B on the other hand rolls without slipping over its hill, i.e there's friction to slow down its rotational motion which thus reduces how fast Ball B will rotate at the top of the hill
